‘Filmmaking and Truth Telling in the Educational Context: An Exclusive Premiere of the Final Episode of The Australian Wars Documentary’ with Rachel Perkins, Belinda Duarte and Shelley Ware.
Join us for an exclusive, world premiere of the final episode of the land mark documentary series The Australian Wars. Filmmaker Rachel Perkins will be joined by Professor Daryl Rigney in a conversation hosted by Shelley Ware following the screening. Filmmaking can illuminate the untold stories of First Nations people, bringing these stories into schools and homes and breaking what has been locally called the ’The Great Australian Silence’. This series explores the warfare across the Australian continent as colonisation unfolded. Compelling viewing, The Australia Wars contributes to truth telling in Australia and will resonate deeply with First Nations people globally who have resisted the powerful forces of imperialism and its legacy.
